Hi Jeff, (cced to PCE and OSPF WGs accordingly)
In my understanding, the semantics of the MSD terminology as defined in PCE-SR draft and the semantics of the MSD (type 1) terminology as defined in IGP-MSD draft are actually indicating the same capability (i.e., maximum label stack imposition depth) and therefore such capability should be protocol-agnostic and could be advertised via any protocol including but limited to PCEP, IS-IS, OSPF and BGP-LS. It just happens that PCEP only announces per-node MSD capability while IGP announces both per-node and per-link MSD capability. Therefore, it seems worthwhile to iron out the terminology inconsistency between MSD and MSD (type 1), IMHO. Please feel free to correct me if my understanding is wrong. By the way, I'm totally not intending to object anything:) I just hope to eliminate the potential confusion about these two terminologies (e.g., MSD and MSD(type1)) or at least my confusion.
